To create a company whose culture favours medical innovation and discovery, then use the fruits of these discoveries, in all their forms, to meet the diverse needs of people and societies all around the globe.

As one of the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies, sanofi-aventis has the critical mass and resources at its disposal to realize this dream.

The company’s global workforce represents some 80 countries and even more cultures. By respecting employees’ differences and encouraging their creativity, sanofi-aventis will create a climate where innovative ideas flourish. 

This is particularly important for research efforts, but it holds just as true for all aspects of the business. In short, sanofi-aventis relies on a culture of performance that demands everyone’s best effort in maintaining the stability and longevity of the company.

Success as a business underpins all this company wants to achieve:

• Fund the research that leads to further innovative discoveries. 
• Join in solidarity with fellow citizens to support philanthropic causes. 
• Provide jobs that support people and their families. 
• Fulfil our responsibility to deliver public health solutions that meet the pressing needs of people in developing countries.                 

At sanofi-aventis in Canada, we contribute fully to this overall plan by bringing Canadian ingenuity to bear in the company’s global mission. And, in turn, we deliver to Canadian society the benefits of our discoveries and our success.

As a healthcare partner, we play an integral role in the healthcare system, not only by providing essential medicines, but also by supporting research and education to develop best practices and improve standards of care.

As a corporate citizen, we fund community-based activities that improve people’s health and well-being, and set examples of environmental stewardship in the running and maintenance of our facilities.

With firm convictions about the benefits a successful company can bring to society, we nourish a culture of performance that encourages our employees to carry out their jobs with creativity and courage—an approach that contributes to their professional fulfilment and our business success.
